NORTH Yorkshire Police has launched awareness campaign Freeze on Fraud to help you avoid becoming a victim of fraud during the January sales and beyond.
There is a heightened level of risk when shopping online and making internet bookings for items such as holidays and concerts.
The campaign will also feature on ATMs across the county and newspaper websites throughout January. For crime prevention advice, visit North Yorkshire Police website www.northyorkshire.police.uk/freezeonfraud
